Ball by Ball Commentary & Live Score

Lightning are all out for 99. With only three of the batters got into double figures, and when you are chasing down a big total, that's never going to put youn in the position to win.

Barry McCarthy ended up top scoring with 27 off only 15 balls, but in truth they always looked second best in this game.

All the Warriors bowlers took at least one wicket, with Robertson picking up four and that's his best figures in T20 List A cricket.

A 81 run win means that the Warriors pick up a second bonus point win at this festival and move clear, for now, at the top of the table. It's also their biggest win in the IP20 when batting first, so that's a nice record to break.

We've just heard that Shane Getkate has been named the player of the match after his quick fire fifty. A good day all round for the Warriors Captain.

Thanks for following along with the game today, hopefully you'll be able to join me for the afternoon game when the Reds take on the the Knights. This is Justin saying goodbye for now from Cork.
